I was reading in my history book when I passed through this paragraph.

"During the New York campaigns, a young Conneticut officer named Nathan Hale went behind British lines to get secret information. Seized by the British with documents hidden in the soles of his shoes, Hale was ordered to be hanged. Before his execution, he is said to have declared, "I regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."

I laughed so hard. What are your thoguhts.

NO WAIT.

Someone tell me what it means! Or at least... message me about it...

I'm not one for memes, so I don't know a lot about these things.

I grew up in CT so I learned about Nathan Hale back in elementary school. He actually was turned in by his own cousin to the British.

No, but thesimilarities in the two are quite humorous. And I do realize he helped alot in the war, but rather, I was laughing at the coincidenceses. I had no intent on offence, sorry.
